The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term and short-term app-based self-guided psychological interventions to reduce craving and lapse risk in problematic behaviors (compulsive sex, pornography, overeating, gaming, gambling) and substance use (cannabis, nicotine). Participants are randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control. Participants in the intervention group have access to short-term and long-term interventions, whereas those in the control group only have access to the weekly ecological momentary assessment reports. Participants in the intervention group are able to access the intervention materials 5 days after enrollment and receive weekly ecological momentary assessment reports. Those in the control group will be granted access to all intervention materials after five weeks following study enrollment. A questionnaire battery assessments is administered (1) at baseline in the first week following onboarding in; (2) after 5 weeks; (3) after six months. In addition, longitudinal data on several variables related to craving and lapse risk are collected daily using ecological momentary assessment
